In response to global developments of increased intercultural interactions and interdependence, traditional notions of language education are being reframed and reworked into more innovative ways of learning and teaching.
In a culturally pluralistic world, distance learning, or online courses for teaching second and foreign languages, provides unprecedented opportunities for supporting second language instruction and learning. It is propelling second language instruction into a new realm and demonstrating that electronic interactions can offer the same and even more benefits than face-to-face classroom exchanges.
Technology is helping us prepare our students to be excellent global citizens, democratizing language learning and at the same time keeping it fresh and engaging for learners. Language learning has emerged out of the textbooks and, quite literally, into the hands of those who use it through mobile technologies, laptops, and the Internet.
This chapter has been prepared to help educational leaders and teachers understand current trends in second and foreign language education. This includes, but is not limited to: Foreign Languages (FL), Heritage Languages, Second Languages (SL), Literacy and Language Arts.

Abstract
In response to global developments of increased intercultural interactions and interdependence, traditional notions of language education are being reframed and reworked into more innovative ways of learning and teaching.
In a culturally pluralistic world, distance learning, or online courses for teaching second and foreign languages, provides unprecedented opportunities for supporting second language instruction and learning. It is propelling second language instruction into a new realm and demonstrating that electronic interactions can offer the same and even more benefits than face-to-face classroom exchanges.
Technology is helping us prepare our students to be excellent global citizens, democratizing language learning and at the same time keeping it fresh and engaging for learners. Language learning has emerged out of the textbooks and, quite literally, into the hands of those who use it through mobile technologies, laptops, and the Internet.
This chapter has been prepared to help educational leaders and teachers understand current trends in second and foreign language education. This includes, but is not limited to: Foreign Languages (FL), Heritage Languages, Second Languages (SL), Literacy and Language Arts.
